Object pooling
Reusable projectiles and effects are addressed by pool IDs, with configurable capacity and lifetime.
UNITY GAME & EDITOR TOOLKIT
The Fire Ballers.
A tower starts with a circle.
What you make of it is up to you.
At a glance
What this work solves.
Procedural content, creator tools, rapid prototyping, and gameplay systems.
- Problem
- Let a game team create varied, playable towers quickly without hand-building every mesh and obstacle layout.
- My contribution
- Built procedural mesh generation, custom Unity editor controls, palette tools, and gameplay systems with Theory Team.
- Result
- Reusable parameters turn profile curves, colors, and guard patterns into towers that can be tested immediately.

WHAT YOU’RE EXPLORING
A mesh, built one loop at a time.
The original generator builds radial vertex loops, bridges them into faces, and fills the caps. Each floor gets its own transformed mesh. Change the resolution to see the geometry budget move.
TowerObject.UpdateShape · TheoryMathThis experience is built on a simplified version of the algorithms used in The Fire Ballers. The browser recreates procedural layers, profile curves, palette sequencing, rotating guards and bottom-up tower clearing with Three.js. It is not the original Unity game or its complete editor: external mesh import, arbitrary obstacle arc lists, Unity asset saving, stage authoring and the full player/AI systems belong to the original project.
BUILT FOR THE PEOPLE BUILDING THE GAME
The editor is
part of the craft.
The Fire Ballers is a hyper-casual game toolkit. Its tools take a tower from a set of numbers to a playable stage, with designers in control of the details.
BEYOND THE EDITOR
The systems that make it play.
Player & enemy systems
Path-driven movement and jumping, shooting, obstacle prediction, scoring, and configurable enemy decision-making.
Camera tools
Gameplay following, auto-fit and collision detection, plus a separate menu camera with acceleration and resistance.
Presentation & management
Tower counters, animated UI, randomized audio variations, mobile vibration, scene managers and shared project settings.
